Re: C4 ZR-1 Sets New C/GT Bonneville Speed Record
Congratulations! Very cool!
I agree, very smooth, almost no steering wheel movement. Wow, you shifted into 5th gear at about 220mph!

I'd sure like to know what that engine has in it for cam chains.

Re: C4 ZR-1 Sets New C/GT Bonneville Speed Record
Didn't know Jerry had chains made.
In reading about this car here and on the CF, I'm hooked. I've done feature articles on different salt cars over the years and I submitted a story idea for a piece on Dave car to my Editor at Corvette Magazine. If he goes for it, I'm headed down to Texas. Time to put the PS Sport A/S 3 Pluses on the Bad Assed Bee and throw the Nikons in the back...ROAD TRIP!

Re: C4 ZR-1 Sets New C/GT Bonneville Speed Record
I also used Jerry's stronger iwis chains on my 427 stroker build to handle the additional stress of swinging 0.500" lift intake and 0.440 lift exhaust custom cams. When laid side by side Jerry's chains are definitely stouter construction and better finished compared to OEM chains.
